Day One
... check the weather predictions in Hamburg seeing as my flight was at around 7 PM. The weather in Chicago hardly differs from Hamburg's, so I packed mostly clothes I've been wearing recently: pants, shirts, sweatshirts, and a coat. I chose more comfortable ...
A Fatal Attraction to Alternative Subcultrues

Day Five
After a hearty breakfast and a long walk up a despicably long staircase, I had reached a high point in Hamburg: Saint Michael's Church. It's also called "Michel." I didn't think climbing 453 stairs would be worth it until I saw the ...
I don't like this Hamburg.
Back to yesterday. Like I said the museum, the Hamburg Kunst Halle was very disappointing. The art just wasn't good. It was like they were given all the rejects from other museums. There was a Monet and two Picasso's. Still, they were like no other ...
